Engaging Moments

This book presents the earliest West Germanic texts treating the bridal-quest theme – one of the most popular medieval narrative patterns. The author locates the origin of this narrative tradition in the oral and written Germanic literary tradition – a result which leads to a re-assessment of the origins of vernacular German and Scandinavian literature.



Claudia Bornholdt is Assistant Professor of medieval German and Scandinavian Literature in the Department of Germanic Languages and Literatures at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.
